Pennsylvania Freemasonry was recently the subject of a Special Report
aired on Channel 6 ABC Action News, the largest and most frequently
watched network in Philadelphia.

R.W. Grand Master Stephen Gardner was interviewed by reporter Dann
Cuellar on Jan. 23, at the Masonic Temple in Philadelphia. The crew filmed
throughout the Temple and at the Masonic Village at Elizabethtown, as well
as during the Presentation of Bro. Thomas Hopkins as District Deputy Grand
Master for District B on Feb. 7.

The report provided an opportunity to showcase the Masonic Temple
and the Masonic Library and Museum of Pennsylvania, including some of its
treasured artifacts and regalia, such as Bro. George Washington's Masonic
Apron and a piece of his coffin. The strong heritage of Freemasonry was
revealed, including famous Freemasons who have formed and continue to
influence our country, as well as the immense charity provided through the
benevolence of Freemasonry. Grand Master Gardner also refuted common
conspiracy theories often disseminated about the fraternity.

Bro. Samuel King, M.W. Grand Master of the Prince Hall Grand Lodge
of Pennsylvania, also was interviewed for the story, which was aired on Feb.15.
